Can you believe April is over? This year is really flying by so quickly.  Before I set sail on the low carb cruise this weekend I wanted to share with you some of my favorites recipes and articles from April.

What I loved in April:

• 31 uses for lemon peel shows clever ways to use up lemon peels. I’ve put lemon zest in my recipes before, but I really want to give the Lemon Olive Oil and Lemon Extract a try.

• I also loved this article on  5 Reasons to Avoid Almond Flour.  Lauren, the author, ultimately says that almond flour should be used in moderation, but not avoided completely.  Almond Flour is a great replacement for regular flour, but when it is consumed in excess inflammation can increase which causes other health issues.

• I thought this was a cute idea showing how to make your own mason jar drink cups.  I can’t wait to give it a try!
